Tiesa

Tiesa's Physical Description:

Fast:

About 5'5 (165 cm), well-muscled and curvy, very scarred arms and hands. Very striking blue eyes and green-tinted dirty blonde hair.

Not so Fast:

A curvier figure though well-muscled, Tiesa has piercing blue eyes that hold an analytical gaze and green-tinted dirty blonde to light brown hair that falls to her shoulder blades. Typically in simple traveler's clothes, she also likes to sometimes play up the homemaker aspect and wear highly patterned house dresses though her muscled arms and heavily scarred hands and forearms show quite clearly. Gabor is a fan. Rather than 'resting bitch face', she has resting disbelieving face, essentially always looking like she's skeptical. Her smile, when it is earned, either from her idiot husband or not, lights up a room and she has a deep laugh that could wake up a sleeping log itself.

Tiesa's Combat Build:

Barely into Tier 6, Tiesa is an extremely competent pugilist. She has studded enchanted gloves to enhance her already prodigious punches. With forearm guards that are also heavily enchanted, she can take very large hits – physical and magical – while keeping her position on the front line. Probably the one with the most enchanted gear of anyone on the team as she is more of the damage taker than dealer but still packs an incredibly mean – and devious – punch. As she needs to move, her gear is focused on not restricting movement, hence the need for the enchantments.

Tiesa has four skills, two defensive, one pure attack + debuff, and one control focused. 1) [Brawler's Blockade], a skill for those not using a weapon to be able to absorb up to three significant hits. Usually more effective against people as monster's randomly use bigger hits or skills. 2) [Caster's Close Conundrum] (actually just [Contact Spell Stop]), a skill that can significantly reduce the efficacy of the spell cast by someone else if the user of this skill touches them in the process of casting. 3) [Elemental Fist: Lightning] pretty much what it says on the tin. Gives a yellow mana affinity to fists for a short duration, which causes extra damage and can stun enemies. And 4) [Blowback], a simple skill that knocks anyone hit backwards depending on the amount of force in the strike. Especially useful for blunt weapons.

Tiesa's Art:

Prompt: Please generate a photorealistic picture from the waist up of a well-muscled woman. She is very pretty and is in her mid to late 30s. She should have piercing blue eyes and green blonde hair that falls past her shoulders. Her hair must look some shade of green. She should be in a simple linen shirt from the 1800s. Her arms and hands should be heavily scarred. She should look at the camera like she does not believe what someone just said.

None of the art gives her the disbelieving look 😓

#1: It really didn't get her eyes as they are piercing blue and she looks older than this; MJ did NOT want to age up women...

#2: Probably closest on the eyes but they should be more crystal blue. I will probably try that the next time as the prompt

#3: Kinda splits the difference and was okay. Some of the others were not 😅

Jasna

Jasna's Physical Description:

Fast:

About 5'9 (174cm), lithe, dark brown hair and eyes with a mottled and scarred complexion. Wears simple clothes.

Not so fast:

A rather unassuming and unremarkable looking woman, Jasna has dark brown hair, large brown eyes, and a mottled complexion with a number of small scars on her face. Her typical garb is more linen shirt and tight trousers focused on movement and comfort over fashion. She's known to have walked around with rather large stains on more than one occasion. Her physique is closer to that of a fencer, built for speed and lithe with defined but not overly large muscles. She is on the taller side at about 5'8 or 5'9. Her face is typically neutral or blank. Whether she adopted garb and mannerisms to fade into the background to enhance her skillset or vice versa, no one can say.

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

Jasna's Combat Build:

Built for speed and brutal, efficient strikes with her shortsword and dagger combination. Relies on fast in-and-out movements and debilitating strikes to keep targets from focusing on others, acting as a striker and distractor in one. Has strong anti-detection focus as well. Peak of Tier 5 and has been for some time but can easily delve Tier 6s with her buds. She's been waiting to breakthrough as she can feel there is something there that can give her more power though it's not widely known what at the peak of Tier 5.

She has four skills herself and then a number of enchantments on her gear. Her skills are 1) [Gone with the Wind], a movement skill that significantly enhances speed for a short burst but has a longer cooldown and drains a lot of stamina; 2) [Slowing Strike], a debuff skill applied to one blade designed to slow targets; can usually last through three strikes if cast with more mana in case the first one is blocked; 3) [Undetectable], a skill focused on the element of surprise and that your movements or actions have significantly less impact on whether you are detected; and 4) [Hasty Retreat], which can immediately move you backwards up to 'mana used/5' feet; does not make you incorporeal so have to be smart about your surroundings.

Jasna's Art:

Prompt: Please generate a photorealistic full body image of a woman in a white linen shirt and tight trousers. She should be in her late 20s to mid 30s. She should be facing forwards, looking at the camera. The background should be blurred but it should be in a medieval city architecture around her. She should be very, very plain looking with dark brown hair, large brown eyes, and a mottled complexion with a number of small scars on her face. She should be far more plain than pretty. Her face should be looking neutral or blank.

As you'll see, these things suffer with not making pretty people.

Jasna's inspiration in my head (mostly physical but also a little bit the character) is Janet from The Good Place; in the show, she isn't done up as well as this :)

#1: This is one I generated before using MJ (don't remember which) and it is probably the closest IMO to what she looks like. She is more plain than this. They did get the facial expression right

#2: Quite similar to #1 but it made her a bit too young IMO

#3: I used the Janet picture as the starting point, hence why it looks so close. She is giving me more smoulder eyes than blank look.

#4: Best facial expression but far too pretty IMO

Gabor

Gabor's Physical Description:

Fast:

About 5'10 (176cm), very broad and muscly, green eyes, moderate length curly dark brown hair, and a large earring. Wears bright floral shirts.

Not so Fast:

When he's in his guard uniform, he's pretty unremarkable from any other guard, often forgetting to wear his assigned extra 'flair' to denote his role as vice-captain of the Velez guard. He has moderate length curly dark brown hair that flops just past his ears and one big earring. Gabor's eyes are slightly mismatched in green. His complexion is darker than average for the area. He uses a massive axe in battle – though using a spear while on guard duty – so he is quite muscled. When not on duty, his fashion sense is typically deemed 'truly awful' by anyone with eyes, sporting extremely loud floral print shirts and baggy cargo shorts. Thankfully, Putijama does not have Crocs, though Terry is considering bringing them there. He's of average height, 5'9-5'10. Just about at any time, his face has a giant smile, whether from general happiness or because he just told an awful joke remains to be seen.

Gabor's Combat Build:

Near the peak of Tier 5 but slightly behind Tiesa and Jasna, Gabor uses a very large two-handed axe but is focused on mostly dodging to avoid taking damage rather than soaking up any hits. Tiesa calls him her scaredy cat. He is focused on heavy, crippling single blows that are especially effective against single foes, like rift bosses. He is not very effective against wave-type rifts but is very overwhelming on the battlefield against other people.

His focus is damage dealing but dodge heavy and has five skills that suit him well. 1) [Empowered Strike] is a simple, single cast to significantly increase the power behind the next strike. 2) [Cat's Grace] enhances the dexterity of the caster, making it far easier to dodge hits or use finesse weapons. Gabor only uses it for the former. 3) [Desolation of Destruction] is a very edgelord name for an incredibly strong single attack skill but which leaves the caster essentially fully drained of stamina. It will take as much mana as one can give it. 4) [Hasty Retreat], which can immediately move you backwards up to 'mana used/5' feet; does not make you incorporeal so have to be smart about your surroundings. And 5) [Second Wind], which creates a small amount of healing and restores a small amount of stamina. Has a moderate cooldown so great for extending a fight but cannot be spammed.

Gabor's Art:

Prompt: Please generate a photorealistic full body image of a man in a dark floral print shirt and cargo shorts. His shirt MUST be buttoned. He should be mid- to late-thirties and should be generally attractive. He should be looking at the camera and smiling with a friendly smile. He has rather large muscles. His hair is moderate length, coming down to past his ears. His hair is curly and dark brown. His hair MUST be curly, not wavy. He has one large earring. His eyes are dark green but the color should not perfectly match between his two eyes.

The must be buttoned thing was because I tried one service and literally, I had three sentences of maybe seven that were the shirt should be buttoned and they still went with it open. I think it was used to thirsty prompts?

#1: Not from MJ and I wish I knew which service because it really was the best. This is almost exactly how I pictured him (though the background is not right). Maybe a bit darker skinned.

#2: Example from the thirsty image generator just for fun.

#3: I think MJ really nailed his face if not the hair and the shirt is not nearly loud enough.

#4: Got the hair type right if a bit long

#5: Slightly edgier look (he's got a goofy grin at all times!) but I think if he did a side shave, this is how the hair would be
